[TZGISUG] 2012 ward-level census data joined to ward shapefiles?

[Claudia Capitani]

Dear Nick,
you are right, there's no unique code and names are repeated and spelt
differently in vectors and published result table.
It took me a lot of effort, and manual checking to do it.

I even adjusted the raster  layer from World pop so that it represents the
total population 2012 following the data distribution of the wards. Since
the Worldpop and the Wards shape have different borders (some part of
Rufiji delta are not mapped in the vectors for example), I kept the
Worldpop pixel as they were and I redistributed the population according to
the nearest ward when pixel were not covered by the ward. This also took a
while and manual checking, probably I missed something but it is quite good.

You can find everything at my dropbox folder. My only request is if you
find any mistake,  please let me know, any help in refining this is very
welcome.

Best wishes,
